O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?

The verse 31 is found in chapter 2 of Jeremiah. Judah’s unfaithfulness is described through images of prostitution, a degenerate vine, and a female camel in heat. The prophetic language denounces a compulsive pursuit of other gods and political alliances. The nation attempts to justify itself, but its own conduct contradicts it. The chapter ends by showing that trust in human allies will ultimately produce shame.

Du böse Art, merke auf des HERRN Wort! Bin ich denn für Israel eine Wüste oder ödes Land? Warum spricht denn mein Volk: Wir sind die Herren und müssen dir nicht nachlaufen?
¡Oh generación! ved vosotros la palabra de Jehová. ¿He sido yo a Israel soledad, o tierra de tinieblas? ¿Por qué ha dicho mi pueblo: Señores somos; nunca más vendremos a ti?
¡Ustedes, los de esta generación, atiendan a la palabra de Jehová! ¿He sido un desierto para Israel, o una tierra de densas tinieblas? ¿Por qué dice mi pueblo: “Somos libres, ya no volveremos a ti”?
Hommes de cette génération, considérez la parole de l'Eternel! Ai-je été pour Israël un désert, Ou un pays d'épaisses ténèbres? Pourquoi mon peuple dit-il: Nous sommes libres, Nous ne voulons pas retourner à toi?
O generazione, considerate voi stessi la parola del Signore; sono io stato ad Israele un deserto? sono io stato una terra caliginosa? perchè ha detto il mio popolo: Noi siamo signori; non verremo più a te?
Oh geração! Considerai vós a palavra do SENHOR: Porventura tenho eu sido para Israel um deserto? Ou uma terra da mais espessa escuridão? Por que, pois, diz o meu povo: Temos determinado; não viremos mais a ti?
這世代的人哪, 你們要留意耶和華的話。 我向 以色列 豈是曠野, 或幽暗之地呢? 我的百姓為何說: 『我們脫離約束,不再歸向你了』?
